New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz, once a standout reliever, has been struggling in the 2024 season, allowing seven runs and seven hits in his last 2 1/3 innings pitched. Mets' manager Carlos Mendoza has indicated that Diaz's role as the closer is now "fluid" due to his recent poor outings. After an emotional postgame reaction following a rough performance against the Miami Marlins, Diaz expressed openness to being moved out of the closer role to regain his confidence. Mendoza is considering having Diaz pitch in non-save situations to alleviate the pressure on him.
